It's April 29. From Hollywood to your headphones, this is Entertainment in Celebrity News, today powered by AI. I'm Cory with the Story. The State Department just announced special edition passports to mark America's 250th birthday next July. These limited run passports feature President Trump's face and his golden signature right over the Declaration of Independence image. They're keeping all the top security features intact, but it's a collector's item vibe for the semi-quincentennial. Spokesperson Tommy Piggett confirmed to CBS News that only a small batch is coming out, with customized artwork to celebrate the milestone. Fox News Digital and the Bullwark broke the story first on Tuesday, highlighting how this design stands out from regular passports. Critics wasted no time piling on. The Bullwark's Tim Miller joked that by the end of Trump's term, we might see the capital renamed Trump DC-California Governor Gavin Newsom and... Lincoln projects Rick Wilson even shared Photoshop versions swapping Trump's face for Jeffrey

Epstein's, turning it into instant meme fodder. No modern country, including ours, has ever put a sitting President's portrait on an official passport like this. It's a bold first that amps up the controversy around personalizing national symbols. As the 250th approaches, this passport drop has folks debating where patriotism ends and personalization begins. Keep an eye on how it rose out.
